capo 1

 F          Dm            F            Dm
Me, and my helmet such an un-conventional kid
       F           Dm    G
All intense and kinetic, 
             C               F
at best tolerated from afar

           Dm              F             Dm
Not yet arrested, and by that I mean betrothed
           F               Dm      G
Though a start I am newly courted
                      C               
I've just not been trusted with alters

        F             Dm           F                Dm 
I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned yet disturbed
         Bb         Gm       Bb               C              F
Wrongly labeled and underfed, treated like a rose as an orchid

     F               Dm                  F           Dm   
My friends, as they weigh in, get understandably protective
             F                 Dm      G
They have a hard time being objective
              C                    
So inside we cancel each other out

        F             Dm           F               Dm 
I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned and unloved
     Bb          Gm         Bb               C                Bb
Unlabeled and misunderstood, treated like a rose as an orchid

                C          Dm       C                   Bb
You've brought water to me, making sure my bloom rebounds
          C                Dm     C      Bb
You know best of what my special care allows


So I've lived in my blind spot
Thought myself usual when I'm not
And your garden is a nice spot
As long as it is brave and where you are

For this sweet piece of work, high maintenance and deserted
I've been different and deserving, treated like a rose as an orchid

Sweet piece of work, overwhelmed un-observed
I've been bowed down to but so misread
Treated like a rose as an orchid
